The Rockets kick off their 2020 schedule as they face the 76ers in the City of Brotherly Love. The Rockets look to continue the momentum they built after a thrashing of the Nuggets on New Year’s Eve.

Tonight is certainly a clash of styles. Will the Rockets be able to defend against one of the longest teams in the league or will the Sixers dominate with their size?
